18 more days until I finally hit the stage and showcase my
HARD work.. I can honestly say that when I embarked on this adventure to
becoming the next Fitness Pro with The WBFF, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
My life has always been busy, but the past six months have been insane. I’ve
found myself constantly questioning my motives, my intentions, my desires, my
fears, my willingness to do WHATEVER it takes to get my physique in perfect
shape.
HOWEVER, whatever it takes has been an internal battle over
the past six weeks. The closer that I get to show time, the more my heart aches
to be in the gym training with my coach and teammates. However, I have a full
time career in radio, which is fast paced, stressful and a very demanding environment.
So, my workouts with my team are literally an hour, and then I’m back in the
fast lane. Then I hit the gym on my own
for cardio… Along with my 50+ work
weeks, I’m raising my little sister (16) and I have my daughter who’s (14). Yes, I have TWO teenage girls! Our lives are
nothing short of OUTRAGEOUS!
Many people ask why? That’s a very complex question, that I’m
going to answer simply. We lost my mother to breast cancer. After experiencing
severe depression and lost motivation. I needed to prove to myself that I could do this. So, in 2011 I
decided that I was going to train for a fitness competition. Thankfully God placed my amazing coach Doug
Casebier in my path. He also, lead me to my wonderful sponsor West Coast Nutrition
Roseville. Without the support from both of them, this journey would have been
nearly IMPOSSIBLE.
April 28th is right around the corner. My
passport has arrived, my plane ticket has been purchased, my hotel is book’d, my suits are completed and my team wear is
going to IMPRESS the judges.. After all the tears, sweat and sacrifice, I’m
honored that I will be able to share my journey with The WBFF and the amazing
people who’ve been following me on my journey.
My ultimate goal is to share my story of a family that has
overcome heartbreak with the loss of our mother, and rebuilt our home on a foundation of
Dreams!
Much Love to you all,
